OUCH - Braylon Taplin opens with 44.41

http://finishedresults.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/SunAngel/160407F082.htm

He's Lendore's training partner, so I wonder where he is, in the equation.

OUCH - Braylon Taplin opens with 44.41

http://finishedresults.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/SunAngel/160407F082.htm

He's Lendore's training partner, so I wonder where he is, in the equation.

Taplin's time is SERIOUSSSS. Many big names are at least 3/4s of a second behind him. Hence, he has set the marker for the season.

Here are some names in the mens events that I think will surprise us this year:

Andre Degrasse - I watch Degrasse run a 200m this weekend. He was almost "Boltesque". Jogged the final 50-60m and won the race with little effort in 20.23.

Wayde Van Niekerk - Although Van Niekerk is a 400m man, I predict he will open some eyes and run 19.7 or less in the 200m this year. If he does, I can see him also doing the 200m if the Olympic schedule allows.

Bralon Taplin - I wonder if he has enough gas in the tank. He ran indoors and tanked in the 400m final. The outdoor season is even more demanding so we will see if he can carry it through to the Olympics. If Rondell Bartholomew can overcome his injury woes, Grenada may just have a chance of putting together a medal contending team in the 4x400.

One last thing, Cedenio, Lendore, Gordon, Quow and Solomon know that spots on the 4x400 team arent a given. Them men will step up their game this year. Goodbye Ian Morris record. My guess is either Cedenio or Lendore or BOTH!

LaShawn Merritt toasts the competition with a boss 2nd 100m in a wind legal 19.78. With a very average turn, this demonstrates his strength and speed endurance more than pure speed at this point. It's particularly impressive given this is mid-April; can't remember even 100/200m guys running the 200m this fast, this early.

I would not be surprised if Van Nekirk drops a similar time this season; they both need to if they expect to challenge MJ's 400m record this year or anytime soon. At 19.8 they should be able to to get out a second slower with some level of comfort in 20.8, then close 1.5 seconds slower (22.3) to get to 43.1.

Is it just me or did Tori Bowie call Slippers a bitch when she crossed the line?! I just read her lips in the race replay at 1:28 in the video!! LOL!!
I am now becoming a Bowie fan!! I like sprinters with passion who don't like losing!  :D

Khalifa' s younger rival, American Candace Hill cruised to 11.09(+1.9) in her semis at the US Junior trials. Finals in an hour. Sub-11 looks ominous.

Bolt withdraws from 2016 Jamaica Trials

Usain Bolt has withdrawn from the Jamaica Olympic Trials with a hamstring tear, Bolt announced in a statement posted on Twitter.

Bolt was attempting to qualify for his fourth Olympics at the Jamaican National Championships, and will now seek qualification for this summer’s Games in Rio de Janeiro at the London Anniversary Games on July 22.

“After feeling discomfort in my hamstring after the first round last night and then again in the semi-final tonight I was examined by the Chief Doctor of the National Championships and diagnosed with a Grade 1 tear,” Bolt wrote. “I have submitted a medical exemption to be excused from the 100m final and the remainder of the National Championships. I will seek treatment immediately and hope to show fitness at the London Anniversary Games on July 22 to earn selection for the Olympic Games in Rio.”

Bolt holds the world records at 100 and 200 meters, and has previously won gold medals in the 100- and 200-meter races and the 4x100-meter relay at the 2008 and ’12 Olympics.

Since the 2012 Olympics, Bolt has won world championship gold medals in the 100 and 200 meters and 4x100-meter relay at the ’13 and ’15 world championships.

Bolt competed at the JN Racers Grand Prix in Kingston a few weeks ago and ran a quick 9.88 in the 100 meters despite nearly falling at the start.
